Twitter reinstates the accounts of several journalists after intense public backlash and accusations of suppressing press freedom. The social media platform initially suspends these reporters for sharing links to an account that tracks Elon Musk's private jet, drawing immediate condemnation from international organizations including the United Nations and the European Union.

Elon Musk subsequently launches an informal public poll asking users when to lift the suspensions, with nearly 59 percent of voters opting for immediate reinstatement. One reinstated journalist describes the sudden bans as a clear illustration that the platform no longer operates on consistent rules, but rather relies entirely on Musk's personal whims and daily moods.

Media experts express serious concern over the instability of the social network under its new ownership. Analysts warn that these targeted suspensions serve as a troubling precedent, predicting that similar unpredictable enforcement actions against mainstream journalists continue to increase in the coming months.
